Team Trump launches social media platform GETTR that’s similar to Twitter to ‘fight cancel culture & defend free speech’

DONALD Trump’s team has launched a new social media platform called GETTR to “fight cancel culture and defend free speech.”

The platform said its mission is also to “promote common sense…challenge social media monopolies, and create a true marketplace of ideas.”

The former president’s fans had flocked to Rumble after he joined the video sharing site over the weekend.

Trump live streamed his Ohio rally on the platform on Saturday following his ban from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

Trump was permanently banned from Twitter, suspended by Facebook until at least 2023. He is also banned from YouTube until further notice.

That came after the president’s rhetoric was widely blamed for the Capitol riot on January 6. Trump was impeached for the second time on charges relating to the violence but was cleared.

The Republican’s team had started a blog called “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” in May but announced a month later that had already been closed down.

Earlier this month Trump praised Nigeria for banning Twitter in the country and expressed remorse for not thinking of doing the same – but said he’ll get another chance in a potential 2024 run.
